Philips wake up light 100W, 50Hz, 230V. Bought in UK and want to use in US. The light wont dim, just flickers. Is this product correct for use?

It should work but the big disclaimer for any of these transformers is that they are not intended for continuous use.... So I have no idea how constant use will impact.... It should work though as I use a sewing machine from Europe here in the US with same requirements and it works great. I do however always unplug when not in use.

I am not sure however, on the front connect it to the port on the right hand side outlet where it says 220 v. On the back of the device, just connect input voltage to 110 v.

The electrical voltage in Europe is not the same as USA.....as you know......I can not remember the correct adapter, so Radio Shack or Best Buys will have the correct adapter.Best Regards

The light doesn't work, so it really won't matter where you use it. Amazon carries another brand and it works fine. I recommend buying that one, and it;s less expensive.

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

I bought a US model though I'm on continental Europe. I use an adapter for the socket, and that works fine. Also, don't forget to replace the lamp that comes with it with one of your country, since the US lamp works on a different voltage and will go 'pop' otherwise.

If they have printed the range of 110-120v on the box, I don't think it will work on a 230v circuit. I have'em installed on a 110-120v circuit and it works flawlessly!! I'm impressed of the quality of this product, no flickering or burned LEDs after a few months of use.

Hello you need to make sure it is rated for your countries voltage. It has a step down transformer. Why don't you call or email the company . I love mine I can operate by switch or just leave it on it comes on Automatic at night and morning goes out .the 3 lights give a very nice light good lighting but not I blinding More of a soft light which is great,and eats very little power.

Hi I work for Northern Light Technologies. The light will work on 50-60Hz and 100-270V. All you need is an outlet adapter. Our sticker on the back of the unit is for CSA which is Canadian Standards so it does not show that it is good for 240V but YES it will work. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to call us 1-800-263-0066

I will speak from my experience. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURER SUPPORTED OR RECOMMENDED MODE OF OPERATION!! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! I had the same problem: existing 12VDC with inline wireless dimmer. I checked the construction of the lamps, they are built simply as 4 1W LED's in series, without a current limiter or constant current source. I measured the voltage of the white adapter (~12V) and the current (~250ma). These measurement are consistent with an earlier measurement made on this type of LED (3,3-3,5V forward voltage). Considering the above observations, I used 3 of these LED lamps without the white converter, in parallel, fed by my existing 12V 5A power supply: current consumption ~0.5A yielding a total power of 6W for 3 lamps. It was clear to me that this will work well in my setup, more so when after adding my 12-24 wireless LED controller in series with the lamps (my wife prefers to dim the LEDs to 40%). Bottom line: works perfectly without the white converter, using my 12VDC power supply and the inexpensive wireless LED dimmers available on line. Also: the light hue is a perfect match to the incandescent bulbs they replace, without the greenish tint of some earlier white LEDs. Will update in a few months.

I've been running one for about a year now, no problems except I was using the load output to control some outside lighting (on at dusk, off at dawn) and it seemed to get confused and was turning the lights on and off randomly. I disconnected it and let it sit for a day and then reconnected it and it has been working correctly since. I am running a 100 WATT 12V panel into it, are you staying within the maximum input power and voltage levels (12v/260W or 24v/520W) specified?

From a pdf that I found online (search google for "hf3485_60_pss_aen.pdf"), it claims that it uses a replaceable Philips Halogen Lamp 100W, 12V, GY6.35. This would seem to address the major problem that people had with previous lamps, namely that the bulb would burn out after a short time. Searching google found that these lamps can be bought for a few dollars. Additionally it says that custom sounds can be added via usb stick for waking up, downloadable from the philips web site.

As long as the light circuit (picture light) is receiving the voltage/current in the range it was specified/designed to work at. You need to look at the output specifications of the European transformer and compare it to the output specs of this transformer. I'm guessing they are the same since these LED circuits are usually sourced from the same manufacturers with similar power requirements. But you have to check to make sure.

Yes. Voltage: 100/240 V Specs: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/light-therapy/coloured-sunrise-simulation-hf3520_60/prd/en/;jsessionid=1FC773A042329CB97E58A7BC0E1311C6.app121-drp1?t=specifications

This light is like any other. Hook it to 12 VDC and it will light up. There are 2 circuits in the light and depending on which one you connect to will make it brighter or dimmer. Just make sure you have the width and that it won't be in an area where it may be impacted. There are only 2 small dog ears with screws that hold it on.

We used 80% of 3W/cell EPISTAR LED bulbs(not 100% to protect the bulb for long life-span), that's 2.4W each,100pcs should has 240w output power,if you use in 12V the current should be between 20A to 22A,and the lumence should be about 24000LM to 26400LM.

I don't think so, it uses a 40W flourecent bold ( bright wight ) flourecent lights will not dim only flicker and the design will not let you put a standard light blob because it has a special fit

I use a 12 volt 50W Halogen with no problems. But it has never stayed on for longer han 12 hours at a time
